PLANNING DEM 502 High Street Port Orchard, WA 98366 December 23 , 1996 Mason County Community Development Attention: Gary Yando 426 W. Cedar P.O. Box 578 Shelton, Washington 98584 SUBJECT: Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance for Road Widening of Sand Hill Road; Proponent - Mason County Public Works, SE of Section 30 , Township 23 North, Range 2 West, Tributary to Union River, WRIA 15 . 0503 , SEP96-0294 . Dear Mr. Yando; We have reviewed the above-referenced Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance and offer the following comments : 1 . An Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) is required for this project as indicated in the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance . 3 . Any fish located in the job site will need to be moved to free flowing section of the stream. 4 . The wetlands in this area support fish and the area is tributary to the Union River an important spawning and rearing habitat for coho salmon and trout species . Coho populations in the Mason County streams have declined over the past decade . Over wintering habitat such as wetlands accessible to coho are extremely valuable and provide for the continued survival of this species . 5 . A plan is needed in order to mitigate for placing 1500 cubic yards of fill in these wetlands . A wetland delineation may be necessary before the project can proceed. 6 . The mitigation plan should include monitoring and replanting as necessary to achieve the goal of no net loss of functions and values of the riparian vegetation. Yando December 23 , 1996 Page 2 7 . In Section 4 .d. Proposed landscaping: " . .An existing earth swale running parallel to the East side of Sand Hill Road separates some wetland from the roadside . This swale will be reconstructed to maintain the existing separation. " The purpose of this swale is to maintain separation between the roadside and the wetland in order to maintain the water quality within the wetland. The new swale will need to be have a revegetation plan. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project . Please contact me at 895-4756 if you have any questions .
